I believe you are correct, but the main storm itself lasted 2 days..

I popped the hood only to fine the 2 ft of snow had swamped the car. The snow had filled the engine compartment to the valve covers. Walked home (2 miles) about an hour later a neighbor with a Big F350 came by and asked if that was our car and he took us back and plowed our way home. The next day there were all kinds of reports where plows had just moved cars out of the way with there blades in an effort to keep roads open.
Sounds like the Blizzard we had in 75.......and last week!

i would go to west andover dump and get bike parts all the time
people in andover would throw a bike away if it had a flat tire
my mom always thought i stole bikes
anyways i remember 78 a city dump and a loader were stuck in front of our house for a day
they finally got out and we ended up with a 20 ft high snowpile in front yard what a blast

My friend, you have no idea! We have about 30" on the ground now, and that's not counting the drifts. The sub zero temps and 30-40 below wind chills are not helping. I've, quite frankly, had enough!
